My idea for my enterprise project was selling turf, fire logs and timber. The name we chose was TFT. I was a part of a group of five. We decided on this idea because turf and timber are easily located in our area. We each have sheds of turf. I often have seen people in my local village selling turf and timber and I have always wanted to experiment it for myself. There is even one person in my village who makes a living out of it. Turf is always in big demand in my local area.
We wrote to a shop in Portumna called Daybreak asking for permission to sell outside their premises. They gave us permission and we decided on a day. We all contributed an even number of bags of turf to sell. The size of each of the bags was 5KG meal bags which we got on local farms. We also had timber to sell there too. This timber we had cut, split and bagged ourselves. We all contributed €5 towards purchasing a fire log maker. Another member of our group took charge of making the fire logs. He had to wet paper and compress them together. We sold each fire log for a €5. We charged €3.50 a bag of turf. Or 3 for €10. And €5 for a bag of timber or 3 for €12.
I made over €100 profit on this project. I thoroughly enjoyed every step we had to take to make this project successful. I thought my partners and I worked very well together. We
